The join the gingham-shirt-club campaign started as a joke. Now it’s on five continents.
In Tokyo, businessmen in gingham outnumbered ties at rush hour. In Paris, cafés refuse service unless you show at least two squares per sleeve. In Nairobi, locals call gingham “the international handshake.”
Witnesses say the Vatican is considering a gingham vestment for casual Sundays. Meanwhile, Beijing commuters were mistaken for a human QR code when they crossed the street en masse.
UN records suggest gingham is the only pattern both Putin and Zelenskyy wore this year. If that’s not diplomacy, nothing is.
